Chinese New Year is big in Singapore. You would say it's obvious because most of them living here are Chinese! ^_^ But my indication? Long weekend (no work last Friday, Monday and Tuesday), Mall Super Sale (% signs plastered everywhere!), Shoppers doing their last minute shopping (I can feel the last-minute-shopping-vibe from everyone whenever I'm in a mall) and roads leading to Chinatown are closed for the weekend. I am looking forward to the Chinese New Year: the fireworks, the lion dance, the frenzy and the overflowing food! (Matet asked if there are pabuto (firecrackers) already, but so far I haven't heard a single firecracker... maybe later in the evening.) But I think am gonna spend it alone though because Miko's off to a reunion and Pixie has work. Of course, am half-thrilled, half-sad. Sad, because of the obvious, I'm alone but more thrilled because I'll go around the city (I am now near City hall and off to the National Library in a bit) and explore the unknown! I have always loved that feeling! :)

My First Day in Singapura - 02.11.10
I am overwhelmed with things that I wanted to write. And since I'm just in an internet cafe with little to no money to spend on internet, here goes my ramblings. :)
I am so grateful of our family friend for super helping me in everything. From looking for a place to stay, picking me up at the airport, to giving me EZ Link card and a "starting money". I somewhat feel ashamed for accepting the help, my pride is eating me whole. But times like these, who cares about pride, right? As long as the help will not be forgotten. I tell that to myself to stop feeling guilty...
I'm now staying at a hotel near chinatown waiting for the 6:30pm to arrive. We (my friend and i) will be going to Anchorvale to check out the room that I will be renting out. So to kill time, I've decided to go around downtown first, have my peso changed to sgd and buy a Singtel sim. (I now have my Sing# but wont't be posting it here, not that I am assuming you're interested. ^_^)

New Krispy Kreme Mini Doughnuts
I was to be one of the firsts to taste the new Krispy Kreme Mini Doughnuts!
There are eleven (11) doughnut flavors to choose from. My favorite was the blueberry doughnut (I am a big blueberry fan) and the Striped white chocolate doughnut! You can buy 20 pieces in a box for only Php 290 lang, perfect for flavor-freaks like me! :) Starting today, Krispy Kreme Mini Doughnuts is available but only in their Greenhills Shopping Center branch. It's just their soft launch so bear with them first.
I think they are cooking something big, so better watch our for more surprises from Krispy Kreme! :)

2010 Non-Working/Public Holidays
It is of my personal interest that I make it a point to know Philippine Non-working holidays so I can plan my trips way ahead of time.
I have been fortunate enough to come across a post from a friend on Plurk who posted 2010 Philippine Holidays as issued by Madame President GMA. Here are the holidays of 2010 in the Philippines:
